Dear Parents,

                     Advent begins on Sunday Nov 27. Each morning we will light the Advent wreath in our classroom and say a prayer. We are starting to learn about the baby Jesus being born on Christmas and what we need to do to prepare.

 The "Elf on the Shelf" returns to the classroom. We will read a book, name him  and look every morning to find his new spot. This fun activity reminds the children to be on their best behavior.

This week we are also going to have fun reading and comparing many Gingerbread Man books. We will finish our Gingerbread unit with a Gingerbread Man hunt around the school. This is always lots of fun for the class.

Our final color day is Thursday,December 1. It will be black and white.  As usual dress your child in black and white and send in a toy for show and tell. No uniforms need to be worn on a color day.

The letter of the week is I and the number is 8. We are also going to have a lesson on patterns.

Parent-Teacher  conferences will be on December 8.  By the end of the week I will have a signup sheet available for you to choose  your tme to come in and discuss your child.

                                                               Thank you!
                                                              Mrs.Onorato
